Arizon RFID Technology (Cayman) Co., Ltd.
Business Report
In 2025, the global economy experienced significant volatility. Against a backdrop of easing inflation and gradual adjustments to monetary policy, major economies showed a moderate recovery in economic growth. However, the imposition of reciprocal tariffs by the United States and ongoing geopolitical conflicts have had structural impacts on many companies’ operations, including supply chain restructuring. In this highly uncertain business environment, the Company’s consolidated revenue for 2025 was NT$3.952 billion, with an operating profit of NT$351 million, net profit attributable to owners of NT$225 million, and earnings per share of NT$3.00.
Despite the high level of global uncertainty, demand for digital transformation, automation, and supply chain visibility continues to increase. This is expected to drive medium- to long-term growth momentum for UHF (Ultra-High Frequency) RFID applications in retail, logistics, manufacturing, and public services. In addition, the emphasis placed by developed countries on supply chain resilience, inventory management, and compliance traceability is expected to generate stable demand for the RFID industry. The Company expects the RFID industry to maintain steady growth.
In response to reciprocal tariffs, trade tensions, and heightened geopolitical risks, the Company continues to implement a strategy of diversified production and supply chain configuration. Through cross-regional production deployment, localized manufacturing, and flexible capacity allocation, the Company seeks to mitigate the impact arising from changes in any single country or tariff regime. In addition to providing products and services to customers in Europe and the United States through its U.S. subsidiary and European sales offices, the Company completed the construction of its Vietnam plant in the third quarter of 2025. Together with its existing facilities in mainland China and Taipei, the Company has further strengthened its production capacity and sales network in Southeast Asia. The Company has also introduced automated equipment and data-driven management systems to enhance production efficiency and quality stability, while improving responsiveness to unexpected events and logistics disruptions.
The Company recognizes that research and development and product innovation are critical to addressing market uncertainty. In addition to leveraging the advantages of Auburn University ARC certification to provide customized RFID solutions to customers in North America, the Company continues to expand its product application areas. Beyond traditional apparel retail, its flexible anti-metal tags have been adopted in global medical device and high-end cosmetics supply chains,

addressing identification challenges in complex environments. The Company has also expanded its ARC-certified product portfolio to include next-generation microchips, high-precision die-cutting and coating technologies, and non-foldable ultra-thin anti-metal tags, successfully applying specialized manufacturing processes and solutions across multiple international product programs.
Furthermore, the Company continues to introduce next-generation wireless network architectures and integrate with major international software-as-a-service (SaaS) cloud platforms, supporting edge computing and machine learning applications. This enables customers to collect and analyze data more efficiently and accurately, while reducing system integration and maintenance costs.
Demonstrating its commitment to sustainable governance, the Company announced that it will formally submit its near-term target to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) in December 2025. Following the publication of its first sustainability report in 2024, this marks the Company’s transition from strategic planning to the implementation of concrete carbon reduction actions, aligning with the global 1.5°C pathway. In addition to continuing efforts to reduce emissions across Scopes 1, 2, and 3, the Company is advancing the transition toward low-carbon manufacturing processes, transforming climate risks into competitive advantages. By continuously developing environmentally friendly materials and green manufacturing processes, the Company serves as a key enabler of sustainable development. Leveraging high-precision RFID technology, the Company assists clients in retail, logistics, and supply chain sectors in achieving precise management and reducing resource waste caused by overproduction, working with global partners to promote an efficient, low-carbon, and net-zero future.
Looking ahead to 2026, the global economy is expected to continue operating under the combined influence of reciprocal tariffs, trade tensions, and geopolitical conflicts. While short-term volatility is likely to persist, the long-term trends of digital transformation and sustainable development remain irreversible. As a key supplier in the RFID industry, the Company remains confident in the future applications and growth of RFID technologies. The Company will continue to prioritize technological innovation, deepen its global supply chain deployment, and flexibly adjust its operational strategies. It will further strengthen collaboration with customers in North America and Asia to respond to the evolving international environment, with the aim of capturing growth opportunities amid challenges and creating long-term, sustainable value for shareholders, customers, and employees.

The Company may appoint its attorneys, certified public accountants, or related persons retained by it to attend a shareholders' meeting in a non-voting capacity. Article 8 The Company, beginning from the time it accepts shareholder attendance registrations, shall make an uninterrupted audio and video recording of the registration procedure, the proceedings of the shareholders' meeting, and the voting and vote counting procedures. The recorded materials of the preceding paragraph shall be retained for at least one year. If, however, a shareholder files a lawsuit pursuant to Article 189 of the Company Act, the recording shall be retained until the conclusion of the litigation.
In the event of a video conference shareholders' meeting, the Company shall keep records of the shareholders' registration, enrollment, check-in, questions and voting and the Company's vote counting results, and shall continuously and uninterruptedly record and videotape the entire video conference. The Company shall keep the aforementioned information and audio and video recordings safe throughout the life of the Company, and shall give the audio and video recordings to the person entrusted with the video conference for retention. In case of a virtual shareholders' meeting, the Company is advised to audio and video record the back-end operation interface of the virtual meeting platform. Article 9 Attendance at shareholders meetings shall be calculated based on numbers of shares. The number of shares in attendance shall be calculated according to the shares indicated by the attendance book and sign-in cards handed in, and the shares checked in on the virtual meeting platform, plus the number of shares whose voting rights are exercised by correspondence or electronically. The chair shall call the meeting to order at the appointed meeting time and disclose information concerning the number of nonvoting shares and number of shares represented by shareholders attending the meeting. However, when the attending shareholders do not represent a majority of the total number of issued shares, the chair may announce a postponement, provided that no more than two such postponements, for a combined total of no more than one hour, may be made. If the quorum is not met after two postponements and the attending shareholders still represent less than one third of the total number of issued shares, the chair shall declare the meeting adjourned. In the event of a virtual shareholders' meeting, the Company shall also declare the meeting adjourned at the virtual meeting platform. If the quorum is not met after two postponements as referred to in the preceding paragraph, but the attending shareholders represent one third or more of the total number of issued shares, a tentative resolution may be adopted pursuant to Article 175, Paragraph 1 of the Company Act; all shareholders shall be notified of the tentative resolution and another shareholders' meeting shall be convened within one month. In the event of a virtual shareholders' meeting, shareholders intending to attend the meeting online shall re-register to the Company in accordance with Article 6.
When, prior to conclusion of the meeting, the attending shareholders represent a majority of the total number of issued shares, the chair may resubmit the tentative resolution for a vote by the shareholders' meeting pursuant to Article 174 of the Company Act. Article 10 If a shareholders' meeting is convened by the Board of Directors, the meeting agenda shall be set by the Board of Directors. Votes shall be cast on each separate proposal in the agenda, or deemed passed if the chair receives no objections from any attendees. Where there is an objection, it shall be determined with a vote by ballot. The meeting shall proceed in the order set by the agenda, which may not be changed without a resolution of the shareholders' meeting. The provisions of the preceding paragraph apply mutatis mutandis to a shareholders' meeting convened by a party with the power to convene that is not the Board of Directors. The chair may not declare the meeting adjourned prior to completion of deliberation on the meeting agenda of the preceding two paragraphs (including extraordinary motions), except by a resolution of the shareholders' meeting. If the chair declares the meeting adjourned in violation of the Rules of Procedure, the other members of the Board of Directors shall promptly assist the attending shareholders in electing a new chair in accordance with statutory procedures, by

agreement of a majority of the votes represented by the attending shareholders, and then continue the meeting.
The chair shall allow ample opportunity during the meeting for explanation and discussion of proposals and of amendments or extraordinary motions put forward by the shareholders; when the chair is of the opinion that a proposal has been discussed sufficiently to put it to a vote, the chair may announce the discussion closed, call for a vote, and schedule sufficient time for voting. Article 11 Before speaking, an attending shareholder must specify on a speaker's slip the subject of the speech, his/her shareholder account number (or attendance card number), and account name. The order in which shareholders speak will be set by the chair.
A shareholder in attendance who has submitted a speaker's slip but does not actually speak shall be deemed to have not spoken. When the content of the speech does not correspond to the subject given on the speaker's slip, the spoken content shall prevail.
Except with the consent of the chair, a shareholder may not speak more than twice on the same proposal, and a single speech may not exceed 5 minutes. If the shareholder's speech violates the rules or exceeds the scope of the agenda item, the chair may terminate the speech. When an attending shareholder is speaking, other shareholders may not speak or interrupt unless they have sought and obtained the consent of the chair and the shareholder that has the floor; the chair shall stop any violation.
When a juristic person shareholder appoints two or more representatives to attend a shareholders' meeting, only one of the representatives so appointed may speak on the same proposal. After an attending shareholder has spoken, the chair may respond in person or direct relevant personnel to respond.
Where a virtual shareholders' meeting is convened, shareholders attending the virtual meeting online may raise questions in writing at the virtual meeting platform from the chair declaring the meeting open until the chair declaring the meeting adjourned. No more than two questions for the same proposal may be raised. Each question shall contain no more than 200 words. The regulations in paragraphs 1 to 5 do not apply.
As long as questions so raised in accordance with the preceding paragraph are not in violation of the regulations or beyond the scope of a proposal, it is advisable the questions be disclosed to the public at the virtual meeting platform.
Article 12 Voting at a shareholders meeting shall be calculated based the number of shares. With respect to resolutions of shareholders' meetings, the number of shares held by a shareholder with no voting rights shall not be calculated as part of the total number of issued shares. When a shareholder is an interested party in relation to an agenda item, and there is the likelihood that such a relationship would prejudice the interests of the Company, that shareholder may not vote on that item, and may not exercise voting rights as proxy for any other shareholder.
The number of shares for which voting rights may not be exercised under the preceding paragraph shall not be calculated as part of the voting rights represented by attending shareholders.
With the exception of a trust enterprise or a shareholder services agent approved by the competent securities authority, when one person is concurrently appointed as proxy by two or more shareholders, the voting rights represented by that proxy may not exceed three percent of the voting rights represented by the total number of issued shares. If that percentage is exceeded, the voting rights in excess of that percentage shall not be included in the calculation.
Article 13 A shareholder shall be entitled to one vote for each share held. Except when the shares are restricted shares or are deemed non-voting shares under Article 179, Paragraph 2 of the Company Act.
1 When the Company holds a shareholders' meeting, it shall adopt exercise of voting rights by electronic means and may adopt exercise of voting rights by correspondence. When voting rights are exercised by correspondence or electronic means, the method of exercise shall be specified in the shareholders' meeting notice. A shareholder exercising voting rights by correspondence or electronic means will be deemed to have attended the meeting in person.

However, the shareholder will be deemed as having waived his/her rights with respect to the extraordinary motions and amendments to original proposals of that meeting; it is therefore advisable that the Company avoid the submission of extraordinary motions and amendments to original proposals.
-
2 A shareholder intending to exercise voting rights by correspondence or electronic means under the preceding paragraph shall deliver a written declaration of intent to the Company before two days before the date of the shareholders meeting. When duplicate declarations of intent are delivered, the one received earliest shall prevail. Except when a declaration is made to cancel the earlier declaration of intent.
-
3 After a shareholder has exercised voting rights by correspondence or electronic means, in the event the shareholder intends to attend the shareholders' meeting in person or online, a written declaration of intent to retract the voting rights already exercised under the preceding paragraph shall be made known to the Company, by the same means by which the voting rights were exercised, before two business days before the date of the shareholders' meeting. If the notice of retraction is submitted after that time, the voting rights already exercised by correspondence or electronic means shall prevail. When a shareholder has exercised voting rights both by correspondence or electronic means and by appointing a proxy to attend a shareholders' meeting, the voting rights exercised by the proxy in the meeting shall prevail.
-
4 Except as otherwise provided in the Company Act and in the Company's Articles of Incorporation, the passage of a proposal shall require an affirmative vote of a majority of the voting rights represented by the attending shareholders. At the time of a vote, for each proposal, the chair or a person designated by the chair shall first announce the total number of voting rights represented by the attending shareholders, followed by a poll of the shareholders. After the conclusion of the meeting, on the same day it is held, the results for each proposal, based on the numbers of votes for and against and the number of abstentions, shall be entered into the MOPS.
-
5 When there is an amendment or an alternative to a proposal, the chair shall present the amended or alternative proposal together with the original proposal and decide the order in which they will be put to a vote. When any one among them is passed, the other proposals will then be deemed rejected, and no further voting shall be required.
Vote monitoring and counting personnel for the voting on a proposal shall be appointed by the chair, provided that all monitoring personnel shall be shareholders of the Company. Vote counting for shareholders' meeting proposals or elections shall be conducted in public at the place of the shareholders meeting. Immediately after vote counting has been completed, the results of the voting, including the statistical tallies of the numbers of votes, shall be announced on-site at the meeting, and a record made of the vote.
When the Company convenes a virtual shareholders' meeting, after the chair declares the meeting open, shareholders attending the meeting online shall cast votes on proposals and elections on the virtual meeting platform before the chair announces the voting session ends or will be deemed abstained from voting.
In the event of a virtual shareholders meeting, votes shall be counted at once after the chair announces the voting session ends, and results of votes and elections shall be announced immediately.
When the Company convenes a hybrid shareholders' meeting, if shareholders who have registered to attend the meeting online in accordance with Article 6 decide to attend the physical shareholders' meeting in person, they shall revoke their registration two days before the shareholders' meeting in the same manner as they registered. If their registration is not revoked within the time limit, they may only attend the shareholders' meeting online.
When shareholders exercise voting rights by correspondence or electronic means, unless they have withdrawn the declaration of intent and attended the shareholders' meeting online, except for extraordinary motions, they will not exercise voting rights on the original proposals or make any amendments to the original proposals or exercise voting rights on amendments to the

The ballots for the election referred to in the preceding paragraph shall be sealed with the signatures of the monitoring personnel and kept in proper custody for at least one year. If, however, a shareholder files a lawsuit pursuant to Article 189 of the Company Act, the ballots shall be retained until the conclusion of the litigation. Article 15 Matters relating to the resolutions of a shareholders' meeting shall be recorded in the meeting minutes. The meeting minutes shall be signed or sealed by the chair of the meeting and a copy distributed to each shareholder within 20 days after the conclusion of the meeting. The meeting minutes may be produced and distributed in electronic form. The Company may distribute the meeting minutes of the preceding paragraph by means of a public announcement made through the MOPS. The meeting minutes shall accurately record the year, month, day, and place of the meeting, the chair's full name, the methods by which resolutions were adopted, and a summary of the deliberations and their voting results (including the number of voting rights), and disclose the number of voting rights won by each candidate in the event of an election of directors or supervisors.

When convening a virtual-only shareholders' meeting, other than compliance with the requirements in the preceding paragraph, the Company shall specify in the meeting minutes alternative measures available to shareholders with difficulties in attending a virtual-only shareholders' meeting online. Article 16 On the day of a shareholders' meeting, the Company shall compile in the prescribed format a statistical statement of the number of shares obtained by solicitors through solicitation, the number of shares represented by proxies and the number of shares represented by shareholders attending the meeting by correspondence or electronic means, and shall make an express disclosure of the same at the place of the shareholders' meeting. In the event a virtual shareholders' meeting, the Company shall upload the above meeting materials to the virtual meeting platform at least 30 minutes before the meeting starts, and keep this information disclosed until the end of the meeting. During the Company's virtual shareholders' meeting, when the meeting is called to order, the total number of shares represented at the meeting shall be disclosed on the virtual meeting platform. The same shall apply whenever the total number of shares represented at the meeting and a new tally of votes is released during the meeting. If matters put to a resolution at a shareholders' meeting constitute material information under applicable laws or regulations or under Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation (or Taipei Exchange Market) regulations, the Company shall upload the content of such resolution to the MOPS within the prescribed time period. Article 17 Staff handling administrative affairs of a shareholders meeting shall wear identification cards or arm bands. The chair may direct the proctors or security personnel to help maintain order at the meeting place. When proctors or security personnel help maintain order at the meeting place, they shall wear an identification card or armband bearing the word "Proctor."
